Cocoa is derived from Openstep (or OPENSTEP, or OpEnStEp, depending on
the state of the caps lock key in the marketing department at the
time). Openstep has run on a multitude of platforms, including
Microsoft Windows. This is why the API exists. With the API you also
get bonuses like proper concatenation of non-delimiter-terminated
paths with relative paths.
In other words, why not just use the damn API? It's not like you need
to deposit a coin to make a function call.

P.S. Apologies for the pun.
P.P.S. If you did have to pay per call, how much more expensive would
a far call be? :)
